A stranger rode straight into townThe fear was in his eyesHe gulped a shot and then once moreAnd said, “What I’d advise,Is saddle up and ride as hard and fastAs you can ride –There’s Bush riders comin’Bush riders outta control.”

He didn’t have to say it twice,A mob made for the door,The bartender yelled out, “Last call!”And I called out, “One more.”I had a winning poker handAnd had been about to raiseWhen my poker game was endedBy the stranger’s maddened phrase –

Yippee-I-OYippee-I-AyBush riders comin',Bush riders outta control.

I might not had a mentionedThat I’m from TennesseeSo I figured that I’d stick aroundAnd see what I could see.I’d seen some ruffians down southWith snake-eyes in their soulsSo I figured I’d get a load of theseBush riders outta control.

The eastern sky turned dark as pitchAs they moved toward the westWhen they hit the edge of townThey didn’t stop for gas,Just shifted to a lower gearAnd yelled as they drove past,“We’re just the advance column,so watch out for your ass.”

And soon we saw what they had meant,It was a dreadful sight.An eclipse came down o’er the townAnd plunged it into night,And like a wounded animalA siren shrieked in fright.Then Cheney’s voice cried, “Open fire!”And they put out the lights.

The shooting went on all night longWhile Rumsfeld danced a jigThen out came CondoleezzaRiding on a pig.And Cheney with his shotgunShot friends and foes alikeThen the most fearsome among themStepped right up to the mike.

He had a folksy mannerAnd a kind of Texas drawlHe said, “We kicked old Saddam’s ass,And got ourselves a haul,So let’s just do some drinkin’And all let down our hair,‘Cause tomorrow when the sun comes upWe’ll all be billionaires.”

From where I hid I still could seeThe clouds above his head,As if an older evilHad took his place instead,With swastikas and murder campsAnd instruments of dread,It blasted through the megaphonesAnd straight into my head.

Then they raised up a gleaming crossTo honor their own dead.The Chief swept off his cowboy hatAnd placed it on his chest.He said, “These boys have died for usAnd the values we hold best,Now send their parents lettersAnd burn ‘em like the rest.”

When they broke camp there wasn’t muchThey hadn’t broke or stole.Just fire, wreckage, ruinAnd the smell of burning oil.‘Cause underneath that Christian hidethere lurks a demon soul,Who let the devils out of hellWith just two words, “Let’s roll!”

And if ya turn on the radio, Whatta they say? They’re givin’ billionaire bankers bonus pay, They say ya can’t say no, It’s the American way,

So BUY AMERICAN DIE AMERICAN BUY AMERICAN, HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY!

One more Monday night in Afghanistan, Kids try to do their homework without hands There’s an enemy around here somewhere, We gotta draw a line in the sand, I wonder why they hate us? We’ve killed all that we can.

Lately I've been thinking how much I miss my ladyCondoleezza's in the West Wing brightening the daybreakLiving with a lust for power, running through the grass for hoursRolling in your Hum-vee like an army-child

And when it rains oil dollars downWashington's a cattle townAnd she's far away somewhere with Colin Powell out-of-townAnd she screens my corporate schemesProtects me from those wild dreams when we swelledLike Corporations fit to burst upon each other

I can see you by the window, planning first strikes in the eveningThe fruit juice flowing slowly, slowly, slowlyDown the bronze of your bombshellsStokin ' up my lust for power, bombing old Baghdad, oh for hours,Flyin' your Apache like an army-child

Oh if only we could nestle in that hangout back in SaudiMy arms around your shoulders, the Bin Ladens laughin' and jokin'While the smart bombs and the children are playing in the valleyOh I miss you Condoleezza like a banker miss his money

Lately I've been thinking how much I miss my ladyCondoleezza's sowing minefields and clearin' out the terrorLiving like a lusty flower, bombin' ole Saddam, oh for hours,Rolling through old Baghdad like an army-childRolling in my Hum-vee with my puppy-child.

Our influence is waning All around the globe. We're lead by blood-drenched killers In sanctimonious robes, Claiming freedom from all laws Of decency and justice Like homicidal maniacs With doomsday as their plan.

The dollar is a millstone About the world's neck And the atoms we've been splitting Have got loose from their nets. We sell administration Of the wealth our fathers stole, And we'd melt down our grandma To increase our stock of gold.

Each one of us consumes ten times Our share of the world's wealth And now we have designs in play To get the rest by stealth. You can claim you're not part of it, That you are not to blame, But while you keep your silence Soldiers murder in our names.

So Dazbidanya, Amerikanski Sayonara, GI Joe, You're no longer the world's policeman, Take your guns, and go on home.

Why do they hate us? They like to ask. Why did they hate the Ku Klux Klan? Why did they hate the fascist soldiers Who drove the murder vans? Why did they hate cold hearted bastards Who murdered children with their own hands?

So Dazbidanya, Amerikanski Sayonara, GI Joe, You're no longer the world's whoremaster, Take your guns, and go on home.

Might it be possibly Worth a try to governOurselves peaceably, followingAt least the 6thCommandment my friends?Just resolve not to kill anybodyPlan ahead so when someoneSays to kill someone elseYou ask why they don’t do theSame to themselves and ridThe earth of their wasted girth.Just resolve you won’tKill nobody’s brother, sister,Father or mother, write it downJust like I did, teach itTo your little kid,Don’t kill nobody!Don’t make it complicatedIt’s totally underratedPeace is an option if youHave a plan.
